matt stoller fully embracing his role as sexual assault denialist

if you’re an immigrant and unemployed, you’re a freeloader, but if you’re gainfully employed, you’re stealing someone’s job. They just don’t want these people to exist except as targets for their hatred one way or the other bsky.app/profile/heba...

On a one-woman mission to make everyone pronounce my last name correctly the first time

I also appreciate Emily Wilson as a woman in a male dominated role, by which I don’t mean translator or classicist or public scholar but rather “curmudgeon.”

My friend lost her job because of the TPS ruling. Please help her stay sheltered. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

NEW, from me: Today, nearly 1000 workers at Mount Nittany Medical Center in central PA have walked off the job on a 5-day strike. The nearly wall-to-wall union (somewhat rare in healthcare these days) has been in the midst of negotiations for months. Their contract expired July 1.

this number is horrific not because it’s unusually high, but because it’s perfectly average. on average repeat rapists—who are the vast majority of all rapists—admit to 6 rapes. this is one of the biggest reasons to prevent people with a history of sexual violence from gaining more power!

"America is my home, and it has been for 31 years," Marlene told ABC News in April. "It took three years for me to get granted #TPS. So a lot of hard work went into this, just to have it potentially ripped away from me ... It's kind of cruel and inhumane to rip that away from us."

Gotta love how we’ve returned to a Gilded Age where we have first hand experience of how the Temperance, Suffrage and anti-gambling movements coalesced.

I am going to join the Women's Christian Temperance Union bsky.app/profile/catg...

Right before my liver transplant, I wrote an essay about living with my disease. Now, 6 months after my liver transplant, I have written a reflection of these last 6 months of my new life. medium.com/@clo.zilla/a...

I spoke to Summer Lee’s 2022 campaign manager who shared on the record for the first time that Moraff was banned from campaign events/activities after the team learned of allegations of sexual misconduct (including assault) from six different people. www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

my friend has this joke where she says "Pittsburgh Marie Pennsylvania" when some dumb shit goes down here and I think it's the funniest thing on the planet

I am so glad reputable journalists are finally reporting on this. I'd also like to know exactly who said this about PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA, of all places in these United States of America. My god.

Exclusive from me — Daniel Moraff, one of the political operatives behind Graham Platner's rise and fall, has been accused of sexual assault. Full story here:

This is such a deep dive--way beyond a review!--and I'm so flattered to be in @pittsburghprogress.bsky.social!

I also got to talk to Anne about what went into compiling these Federal Writers' Project interviews and why she thinks it's important for more of us to explore this era of American history. pittsburghprogress.com/anne-trubek-...

For @pittsburghprogress.bsky.social, I reviewed "American Made: Stories of Work from the WPA," new from @beltpublishing.bsky.social and featuring words from @atrubek.bsky.social and @kimkelly.bsky.social. It's a banger of a book, and I loved writing about it. pittsburghprogress.com/review-ameri...
